What's In This Picture

As you look at this coloring page, the first thing you notice is the large ice cream truck parked on a winding road. On top of the vehicle sits a massive giant ice cream cone with several scoops stacked high. Inside the service window, a happy boy is waving hello, surrounded by various bottles that likely hold sweet syrups and toppings for the sundaes.

Looking toward the sky, a bright sun with a friendly face beams down next to soft, fluffy clouds. In the distance, gentle hills create a peaceful backdrop for the truck's stop. Every element, from the tires on the road to the small details on the truck's frame, is drawn in a fun cartoon style that makes it easy to stay within the lines while adding your own personal touch.

Coloring Tips

To make the giant ice cream cone look extra tasty, you might try using light brown for the waffle texture and pastel pinks or mint greens for the scoops. For the ice cream truck itself, bright colors like sky blue or lemon yellow help it stand out against the landscape. You can use a darker grey or black for the road to give the scene some depth and contrast against the colorful vehicle.

Since the sun is out, consider using a warm yellow or orange for the sky near the horizon. If you want to add some extra flair, you could use a white crayon or a gel pen to add small 'sprinkles' onto the ice cream scoops after you have finished coloring them. The moderate line density makes this a great choice for using markers or colored pencils to get into those smaller areas around the boy and the syrup bottles.

Did You Know?

Did you know that the very first ice cream trucks were actually horse-drawn wagons? Before engines were common, people would listen for the sound of bells to know that a cold treat was coming down their street. Today, most trucks use a special music box to play catchy tunes that can be heard from blocks away.

Try This!

After you finish coloring the truck, you could try drawing your own dream menu on a separate piece of paper to go along with it. You might also want to count all the scoops on the giant cone or imagine what flavors the boy is selling today. Sharing your finished artwork with a friend while enjoying a real cold treat is a wonderful way to celebrate.
